Turquoise & Pink Explosive Nail Art

18 April 2013

Hey everyone! For today's manicure I use scotch tape to create an explosion design. I learnt this technique and design from the Explosion Tutorial by Nailside. Jane's tutorials are amazing and her blog is one of the first that I started following. Her blog has been a huge inspiration for me to start my own and I have been meaning to try out some of her tutorials!

To create this look:

I started with a coat of all in one base followed by 2 coats of in the cab-ana by Essie.

I taped up my nails to create the explosion effect and painted a coat of Silver by Gosh. I re-taped my nails so that I would have some silver showing and painted the ends with Posh Pink by Rimmel London

I topped it off with a coat of Seche Vite to smooth out the lines and add some shine!

In the cab-ana is definitely my favourite colour right now and I am super happy that I got to show it with some nail art today. I am loving the colour combination and the overall look of a tape manicure! Jane from Nailside can do WONDERS with tape and her tutorials make it so easy to learn how to create such beautiful nail art!

Hetal this is such an amazing look!! Love the colours, love the neatness of it all and I only wish you'd tried the matte finish for this one ;) It would've looked marvellously comic book like :DPs. agree with you: Nailside is fantastic with tape manicures! She takes it to a whole different level ;)
